David I gave a rundown on Tiburon last night at the Toronto Delphi User Group Meeting (TDUG). Our customer Bruce McGee was kind enough to allow me to attend. Tiburon looks to be a nice step forward. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Are you in the picture on his blog? http://blogs.codegear.com/ao/2008/07/16/38939 > > Tiburon looks to be a nice step forward. > Yeah looks like there will be some really usefull features. One question you probably cannot answer yet, will the Tiburon version of ElevateDB be unicode only? Cheers, Stu |

<< Are you in the picture on his blog? http://blogs.codegear.com/ao/2008/07/16/38939 >> Yep, I'm in the very back with my arms folded. << Yeah looks like there will be some really usefull features. >> It's an important step. David I himself said that they are really committed to making up for the lack of attention that the product has suffered from during the latter Borland years. I think we could see a mini-revival of Delphi in the next few years. Native 64-bit code with full Unicode support and progressive features like generics could be a compelling compiler product. Add some more platforms (my opinion, not CodeGear's words), and you've got a *very* compelling compiler product. I'm pretty excited for the first time in a while. << One question you probably cannot answer yet, will the Tiburon version of ElevateDB be unicode only? >> No, we can do both. That's the beauty of the design of ElevateDB - it can be compiled for Unicode or ANSI strings with one IFDEF - EDB_UNICODE. Besides, it still has to support older Delphi versions that use only ANSI strings (WideStrings may have been present, but there were a lot of holes), such as D5-D7. The cool thing will be being able to make the EDB Manager 100% Unicode from the controls down to the database engine with a few simple changes and recompile. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Will there be a conversion tool to convert old tables containing ASCII string fields to Unicode string fields? This release just might convince me to migrate from my D5/DBISAM 3.30 combo to a D2008/ElevateDB combo. -- |

<< Will there be a conversion tool to convert old tables containing ASCII string fields to Unicode string fields? >> We already have migrators available for that. The only thing that is currently outstanding with the migrators is specific code-page conversions during the migration. << This release just might convince me to migrate from my D5/DBISAM 3.30 combo to a D2008/ElevateDB combo. >> And that's *always* a good thing. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Dan Rootham | Dominique,
<< The only thing that is currently outstanding with the migrators is specific code-page conversions during the migration. >> Until the EDB migrators also do the codepage conversion (e.g. from Win1251 Cyrillic to Unicode), you can work around the problem quite easily after migrating. Just use the Windows API MultiByteToWideChar.
